I've been trying to get my sound working and tried playing an audio file with mplayer, xmms, and vlc, and it seems like it's playing fine (I can even see the visual bars moving in xmms) but I get no sound at all with my speakers up all the way. Here is what I have done so far:
As per the FAQ's instructions: $ cat > /dev/audio < /dev/zero & [1] 6310 $ audioctl play.{seek,samples,errors} play.seek=48000 play.samples=1833600 play.errors=0 $ audioctl play.{seek,samples,errors} play.seek=57600 play.samples=4089600 play.errors=0 $ audioctl play.{seek,samples,errors} play.seek=57600 play.samples=5299200 play.errors=0 $ kill %1 $ fg %1 cat > /dev/audio < /dev/zero Terminated It seems as if it's okay with the samples increasing each time, mixer settings: $ mixerctl inputs.dac-0:1_mute=off inputs.dac-0:1=200,200 inputs.dac-2:3_mute=off inputs.dac-2:3=126,126 record.adc-0:1_source=mic record.adc-0:1_mute=off record.adc-0:1=124,124 outputs.hp_source=dac-0:1 outputs.hp_boost=off outputs.spkr_source= outputs.spkr2_source=dac-2:3 inputs.mic=85,85 outputs.mic_dir=input-vr80 outputs.SPDIF_source=dig-dac-0:1 outputs.hp_sense=plugged outputs.spkr2_muters=hp outputs.master=200,200 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.master.slaves=dac-0:1,dac-2:3 record.volume=124,124 record.volume.mute=off record.volume.slaves=adc-0:1 outputs.mode=analog Everything seems to be at a reasonable volume and nothing is muted, And I'm not sure how to figure out what kind of audio hardware I have, so I just tried this: $ dmesg | grep audio audio0 at azalia0 What else can I try?
